Walk like a Man” pays tribute to hugely popular New Jersey-based recording stars Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. The show features 23 years old singing sensation Paul Fracassi, a former Star Search and Canadian Idol semi-finalist and graduate of Toronto’s famous St. Elizabeth School for the Performing Arts. His vocal tones and showmanship are always a big hit.

Fracassi’s backup band, featuringsome of Toronto’s top musicians, provides the famous backbeat and harmonies of The Four Seasons, with a thrilling fidelity that will make you feel you’re discovering them for the first time.

Walk like a Man was inspired by “Jersey Boys”, the hit movie and stage play about the life and times of The Four Seasons. But the songs are all that the two entities share. Walk like a Man is a sixties-style concert that presents a nostalgic look at The Four Seasons’ amazing body of work. Paul Fracassi’s show, featuring the group’s best-loved hits, is the kind of show that made the young Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Nick Massi and Tommy DeVito rich and famous. It may someday do the same for Paul Fracassi.

Songs featured in the show include “December ’63”, “Sherry”, “Big Girls Don’t Cry”, “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You”, “Dawn” and of course, “Walk Like a Man”. Powerful music, fabulous vocals, in a word, unforgettable.
